Gearing up for the Guinness World Record scheduled on 4th November 2012, COEPians resorted to mosaics which displayed their sheer skills and mastery over the cube. The idea of a mosaic portrait of former president APJ Abdul Kalam was a challenging one for the Akshat team when they first put it on paper, but the determined COEPians ensured to make the almost impossible vision possible. A group of students of COEP made use of 216 Rubik’s cubes to create it. The assembly of the 12X18 portrait took seven days and the designing took two days.
Akshat team stated that getting the combination right was a difficult task as there were only six colours to work with. They took a picture of APJ Abdul Kalam from the internet and altered it on the computer. The main assembly was another challenge as the arrangement on the computer and actual execution was different.
The success of their first mosaic accomplishment made the COEPians crave for more. Following the APJ mosaic was another one, made in respect of Steve Jobs, co-founder and ex-chairman of Apple Inc. The mosaic was on display on the first day of mindspark. Second day of mindspark saw another innovative piece created by the Akshat team of the theme of mindspark, evolution.
It was the overall group work and the encouragement of their professors, PP Rege, Prof PR Dhamangaonkar and their principal AD Sahasrabudhe that they managed to pull the task off. All the mosaics reflected the ability, concentration and efficiency of COEPians.
It’s best to participate in a contest for top-of-the-line blogs on the web. I’ll suggest this site!
